Arsenal have held ‘conversations’ with representatives of Wolves winger Pedro Neto over a potential summer move to the Emirates Stadium, according to reports.
Over the course of the last summer transfer window – ARSENAL done some of the best business in the Premier League and signed players that will make them serious contenders for that Premier League title.
The likes of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, David Raya and Jurrien Timber have all made their own impacts at the Emirates since the move over the summer, but Mikel Arteta wants to keep adding to his side in the coming transfer windows, which has led to reports Pedro Neto is wanted.
TEAMtalk claim the the 24-year-old has been contacted by the Gunners, having been on Arsenal’s wanted list for some time. They do however face competition from North London rivals Tottenham.
Spurs are said to be ‘keeping tabs’ on the Wolves man and could make their move if they miss out on other targets.
Speaking to OLBG, former Wolves man Don Goodman recently claimed that Neto is ready for that big move – he said:“I think Pedro Neto could go to any of the big clubs – he’s that good. Wolves fans are resigned to the fact they will lose him, with respect to them.
“Neto is a top-level player and Wolves can’t lay claim to being one of those clubs right now. You have to grab the football opportunities with both hands and embrace the chances to develop your career and play at the highest level – and that means the Champions League. He’s that good.
“It’s promising to hear him talk about how much he loves the club, fans, and the area. He’s very settled and he’ll have to revisit that in the summer.
“Arsenal are the ones who are linked with him, but I’d be very surprised if most of the big teams aren’t keeping an eye on him. He’s been sensational.
“I used to commentate on Wolves games when Neto was at his peak, before his injury, and the thing that struck me was his intentions on the ball. He always wanted to beat players, create chances, and put crosses in.
“Players make safer choices with the ball these days as there’s a big onus on keeping it, rather than trying to hurt opponents with your quality. The flipside of that is that you might give the ball away. Neto’s decision-making, choices, and will to hurt opponents really struck me.
“Neto lost that when was recovering from his injury, but Gary O’Neil has given him a bit of love, and we’ve got the old Neto back. He’s sensational, and he belongs at the very top.”
